stosh64 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I love this idea, I'm curious what you guys think of it. Quote The Bills go after my highest-rated prospect Buffalo Bills receive: -- 2019 first-round pick (No. 2 overall) -- 2019 sixth-round pick (No. 176) San Francisco 49ers receive: -- 2019 first-round pick (No. 9) -- 2019 fifth-round pick (No. 147) -- 2019 sixth-round pick (No. 181) -- 2020 first-round pick (valued at approximately pick No. 12) Why it works for the Bills: With most mock drafts connecting Kyler Murray to the Cardinals at the first overall pick, and the Raiders sitting at No. 4 with several key needs (and the capital to move all over the draft board), the strategy for the 49ers at No. 2 and Jets at No. 3 is very interesting. Since trading with the Jets would be an in-division move, the Bills are more likely to work with the Niners on a deal. Should my model's highest-rated player, Quinnen Williams, be available at No. 2, the Bills could craft a trade for the Alabama defensive tackle and fill a huge team need; though, the trade would require giving up their first-round pick in 2020. I told you that my model is most focused on winning this season, but that doesn't mean it doesn't consider future seasons at all. Simply put, the opportunity to draft Williams is worth the future costs, given the premium at his position and the Bills' current roster.

(If it was up to me) I agree. Smells too much like Marcel. I personally would rather concentrate on our weak points, which is scoring POINTS.. Let the board fall as it will, and if an OT or Hock presents, then that’s our guy. Edited April 23, 2019 by George C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsCuse Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 No way. Do not trade up in the first for a Dlineman, when its a DL heavy draft. It would be just like trading up for Watkins in a Wr heavy draft. Im all for trading up in other rounds, but not in the 1st - too expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Trading up for a DT in the deepest DL draft in decades is insane. This will not happen. It would be ten times worse than Whaley trading up for Watkins. The only player I move up for is Allen if he gets past 5. Even then I probably wouldn’t but If top 5 go Murray, Bosa, Oliver, Williams, White then I would consider a move from 9 to 5 to get Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaryl Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Way too much value in this draft moving back from #9 not up IMO, and then packaging picks to move back up into the 1st like last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wppete Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I would freak out if we end up with a Quinnen Williams. He is the best player in this draft and a major position of need. But I would not want to trade next years 1st round pick. I’m totally good with trading a position player, maybe shady, Shaq or Murphy and a package of 2nd and 3rd Round picks this year and next. Do not trade our next years 1st round pick under all circumstances. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If it was up to me) This ^^^ there is NO way we are giving up 2 first round picks for a DT , especially nexts years we don’t know how this season will turn out injuries / anything can happen our first round pick could be in the top 5-10 , now if we had two first round picks this year and BOTH in the mid 20’s then it’s a different story, Edited April 23, 2019 by Putin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I don’t like it, but I could see the argument for it if you believe the Bills’ first rounder next year will be in the late 20’s and you’re sure Josh Allen is the real deal. It would also be an indication that the FO is under intense pressure to win now. If it didn’t work, McBeane would absolutely be on the hot seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) A good topic, BUT, I'd rather keep next year's first, and either stay at 9 or trade back. I think Simmons has the ability next year or even later this year to be as good as Williams. I'd stay at 9, hope Sweat is there. Then grab Simmons in Rd. 2 or trade back into 1. There is your dominant D-line. Use later picks on TE's and WR's, of whom there are still many. Edited April 23, 2019 by RyanC883 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjv001 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The Bills might not get the highest graded player on their board at nine, but this draft has plenty of players that will be available at 9 that can play at a high-level next year. With all the new faces and 10 draft picks, I think it's likely we trade back up into round 1 or later rounds, or trade for higher picks in 2020 draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufridr101 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I'd be good with this move. The roster is farther along under beano and we have money next year to sign a free agents. Adding a player like Williams definitely helps with recruitment of free agents next year. I view him as the best player in the draft, that said has to be right deal. If they can't make a deal for Williams, they should consider Dexter Lawrence. I wish nfl teams would release the board from the draftroom after the draft. I would like to see how teams value players. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
